In the middle of a
howling snowstorm, a bus out of Kansas City pulls up at a cheerful
roadside diner. All roads are blocked, and four or five weary travelers
are going to have to hole up until morning. Cherie, a nightclub
chanteuse in a sparkling gown and a seedy fur-trimmed jacket, is the
passenger with most to worry about. She's been pursued, made love to and
finally kidnapped by a twenty-one-year-old cowboy with a ranch of his
own and the romantic methods of an unusually headstrong bull. The
belligerent cowhand is right behind her, ready to sling her over his
shoulder and carry her, alive and kicking, all the way to Montana. Even
as she's ducking out from under his clumsy but confident embraces, and
screeching at him fiercely to shut him up, she pauses to furrow her
forehead and muse, "Somehow deep inside of me I got a funny feeling I'm
gonna end up in Montana " As a counterpoint to the main romance, the
proprietor of the cafe and the bus driver at last find time to develop a
friendship of their own; a middle-age scholar comes to terms with
himself; and a young girl who works in the cafe also gets her first
taste of romance.
